THE ARIZONA FLOODS.
Railroad Traffic ImPeded by
Many WashOuts.

NoGALEs, Ariz., July l6.-This town
for several days has been isolated by
washouts both north, south and east.
The most severe washout that has
ever occurred here is on the New Mex

Calabasas, in Sonotia creek canon. 1t
is seven miles in width, and at point
where it is most diff cult to repair it.
There has not been train from the
north for three days and it will yet
take several days to get the trains
through. The character of the diff
culty is such that it has been impos-
sible to transfer mail and express
since the 18th inst, and there has
been no opportunity to send kilograms
for the reason that wires at the scene
of the washout were completely
buried.

SAVED BY A CAT.

Puss has reputation for being selfish
People are always comparing her with
the dog, lauding the one for his gener-
osity and devotion to his friends, and dis.
paraging the other on account Of her sup
posed selfishness and disregard OF the
claims of others when her own interests
are involved. But there are cats and
cats. Let me tell you of one that saved
the life of good knight who, but for
Pussy's thoughtfulness and eelf-sacrihce
must have persisted miserably.
1t was during the time when England,
now so peaceful and prosperous, was
rent and torn by civil strife between the
factions represented by the white and red
roses. Sir Henry Wyatt, brave and
noble soldier, wore the red rose, and
after brilliant victory won by his enc
mics, was captured and imprisoned.-so
the record tells us-"in cold and dark
tower" Here he was allowed to languish,
unsupplied with sufficient food to keep
the wheels of life moving on. In vain he
begged his jailer to increase his allow
ance, but fearing to disobey those who
ruled over him, the man refused.
One day Sir Henry discovered that q
visitor had made her way into his dark
and narrow cell. She purred and rubbed
against him, and soon the knight and the
new conner we're fast friends. Every day
she came for while through narrow
aperture in the wall, and day by day the
attachment grew. Whether in the course
of their interviews Sir Henry told his
new friend how hungry he was we do not
know. Perhaps it was only Puss's de-
sire to show her affection for him; but
one day she came Juggling something in
her mouth, and soon she laid a fine fat
pigeon at the knights feet.
Here was food, and just in time to save
the knights life. The iailer was not
heartless, and though he dare not buy
food for his prisoner, he did not refuse to
cook what the knight supplied. In the
course of a little while Puss brought an
other bird. Then one came every day.
Sir Henry began to recover and grow
strong. Finally his enemies, learning
how miraculously his life had been pre-
served, granted him a pardon. You can
imagine, after this, how grateful the
knight was to Puss. To show his feel
ing toward her, the old chronicle says:
Perhaps you shall not find his picture
anywhere but with cat beside him."

SAGACITY OF THE COYOTE.

1t is during the weeks going just before
and following Immediately after the birth
of the puppies that the old dog-coyotes
work their hardest and most systemati-
cally. In hunting at this time our wolf
adds to his ordinary pertinacity and zeal
the sagacity and endurance necessary to
turn his victims and drive them back as
near as possible to his home, knowing
that otherwise his mate and her weak
lings will be unable TO partake Of the
FEAST
A remarkable picture of this was given
some years ago by a writer in an English
magazine, who, in one of the best "animal
chapters" it has ever been my fortune to
read, detailed such chase as witnessed
by him in the grand forests near Lake
Nicaragua. Certainly" he exclaims at
the conclusion of his account, certainly
no training could have bettered that dogs
run. To drive grown buck back to his
starting place, to send on portion Of the
pack to that point where he would strive
to break cover, to head him again and
again into the cover, where his speed
could not be exerted to the full, were
feats which might we'll puzzle all the best
dogs in England and the human intelli-
gence which directs them"
His game and its getting are not always
so noble as this, however, and the coyote
knows we'll the pinch of famine, espe-
cially in winter. "The main object of his
life seems to be the satisfying of hunger
which is always craving; and to this aim
all his cunning, impudence, and audacity
are mainly directed" Nothing comes
amiss. Though by no means the swiftest-
footed quadruped upon the plains, he
runs down the deer, the pronghorn and
others, firing them out by trickery and
then overpowering them by force of num-
bers. The buffalo formerly afforded him
an unfailing supply in the shape of car
rion or choice fragments left him by his
Brahmans = the white wolves = who
steadily followed the herds, and seized
upon decrepit or aged stragglers, or upon
any calves they were able to surround and
pull down. In such piracy the coyotes
themselves often engaged, though it tried
their highest powers; and success followed
system of tireless worrying. The poor
bison or elk upon which they concen-
trated might trample and gore half the
pack, but the rest would "stay by him. +"
and finally nag him to death. remem-

THE MARSHALSEA PRISON.

Mr.. Fl. Stonehewer Cooper has sent us
an account of visit recently paid to the
Marshalsea, the last relics of which are
about to share the fate OF the old Kings
Bench prison. "Passing up narrow
entry from the borough" Mr.. Cooper
says, "you soon reach the paved court
yard, and on your left are the oak and
nail-studded doors of the lodge just as
you see it depicted in Little Dorrit' by
Hablot K. Browne. On entering the
lodge there is on the left what used to be
called the small kitchen, and on the right
the deputies room. On the first floor are
two rooms, both with solid oak flooring
studded with nails, and here and there the
remains Of an ancient staple. This floor
is also carved and ornamented by the
work of hapless prisoners in the good
old days. In one corner the skull and
cross bones are plainly depicted. Death
was evidently regarded by the artist as
his best friend. Another pitiful record
is Chained down eleven years. but with
no date, while another gentleman puts
his case tersely as 'Chain'd downe, 1886
The real strong-room, however, was over
the large kitchen, and the ceiling and
walls consist of sheet-iron covered with
tiles. Here, too, are to be noticed the
remains of three cells, which seem to have
been in their time unquestionably strong,
and Objectionable to live in. In an ad-
joining but detached building is the re-
mains of the chapel, to which some thirty
years ago, after the place ceased to be a
prison, an additional floor was added. 1t
would seem to have originally afforded
accommodation for not more than eighty
people. In 1889 the Marshalsea contained
some sixty rooms, but they were by no
means always full. Surrounding this
gloomy pile is the still more gloomy
courtyard, much like the murderers'
burial place in Newgate, with it's ancient
pump, with Ct. R. Ill., just as it is pict-
ured for us in Little Dorrit.' Towering
above you are the forbidding walls with
the remains of chevau1 de frise. LON

| Mrs. Hale must have added what she
wrote to Mary's verses, which had been
lost, unless John Rollstone had given
copies to other persons.
| More than sixty years after the lambs
death it helped to preserve one OF the
noblest relics in the city of Boston. In
Boston, near which Mary lives, there
is church called the Old South Church,
that has stood there 159 years. 1t had
grown old, and the congregation had, so
many of them, moved away from that
part of the city, that the edifice was no
| longer suited to their needs, yet they
needed the value of the land to assist in
building new church. For these rea-
sons they proposed to sell the Old South
| Church, and great effort was made by
the persons who wanted to preserve such
venerable relic to buy it for the city,
and thus make it certain that it would
never be torn down. Mary felt great
interest in this.
| So she began to think what she could
do to help the cause; and when great
| fair was held, she brought forth one pair
of the stockings which her mother had
knit for her from the lambs wool. Then
those who had charge of the matter un-
raveled the stockings, and they sold about
half yard of yarn to any who applied for
it, for twenty-five cents. And the letters
came from all parts of the world asking
for piece Of that yarn, and the receipts
to the fund from this pair of stockings
amounted to no less than $40. So the
lamb had been heard of in every land,
and the people showed their affection for
it in this way. Mary wrote her name on
card and the people had Mary's auto
graph as well as piece of the lambs
wool. The other pair of stockings Mary
keeps still and would not part with them
on any account. Mary lives in Somers-
vile, just out of Boston.
Mary had Little Lamb has been
translated into great many languages,
and has appeared in great many forms.
| Nothing, perhaps, is more amusing than
the semi German version given below, as

whose gravity of appearance but poorly
